A Message from South Liverpool Foodbank / Harvest Appeal

A MESSAGE FROM SOUTH LIVERPOOL FOODBANK

Your church has done something truly incredible!

By collecting much needed food and essential items, you’ve ensured we can provide help and support to individuals in our community who are in crisis. We’re so grateful for your partnership and generosity.

Over the past 12 months, with your help, our foodbank supported 5,626 adults and 2,776 children across South Liverpool. This required over 145 tonnes of food and toiletries. We had to buy 33 tonnes of extra stock due to short falls in donations, which is increasingly putting pressure on our finances.

It's hard to believe that people in South Liverpool are going without food and other essentials, but sadly it's true. One in seven people face hunger across the UK because they simply don’t have enough money. Low levels of income combined with increasing costs are forcing people to have to turn to our foodbank.

One client who turned to us was local grandma ‘Elsa’. Due to a family crisis Elsa took over custody of her two grandchildren. She tried to cope but found it impossible to make ends meet and was struggling to put food on the table. We were able to provide Elsa with emergency food and offer practical guidance so she could access the support she needed to get back on track.

We believe that churches are vital partners in our current operations, and in achieving our goal of a UK where everyone can afford life’s essentials and foodbanks can close their doors for good.
